Starport Delta Reviews
Starport Delta is a lackluster strategy simulation devastated by an unbalanced economy and brutally high stakes.
Overall, Starport Delta is a relatively solid indie title
Some signs of life persist, but this space game is largely a disappointing and tedious battle with a slothlike pace.
A space station builder with very little to build. It's a great concept but it's just not well executed enough and it's too shallow to be the game it deserves to be.
Starport Delta is a space city-building indie game with an intriguing concept but ultimately frustrating execution. Players construct a modular space station using hex-based tiles, balancing infrastructure like power, oxygen, and food with residential and resource buildings. Despite a charming aesthetic and humorous touches, the game suffers from limited building variety, strict range limitations, and unforgiving economic mechanics—especially its automatic selling of random buildings when funds dip below zero, often triggering a collapse. While resource and space management are central, excessive micromanagement and lack of flexibility turn the experience into a chore rather than a joy. A missed opportunity in a genre that could use more accessible entries.

There is nothing I can say other than that I adore Starport Delta. The game has immense polish, solid writing, and strong gameplay. The team at Cloudfire built the city builder that they wanted to play, and it shows. Whether it’s some of the cheeky things you can do (like airlock a developer) or the addition of space worms, the game has charm.
